Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or cooking spray.
  2. Peel and grate the Granny Smith apples, aiming for about one cup, and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter, then fold in the grated apples.
  5. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until there are no visible flour streaks.
  6. Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean, then cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
